Do you have a numismatic collection that is truly rare but not valuable?

It's all about supply and demand. My own collection of Krause Publications tokens and medals contains dozens of rarities but has very little value because virtually no one collects them.

Do you have a similar collection?

    I have what is probably one of the leading collections of Adm. Dewey numismatic materials, with a focus on Dewey store cards. Many of the pieces are truly rare, but I have never spent more than $100 on a single piece.

    I think my clipped Lincoln set fits that description to a tee. Many of the zinc clips have less than 3 examples known, but none of them have cost me more than $50 or so.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
